Acabei me esquecendo de colocar a definição (da segunda referência):
nappe:
Massa rochosa tabular alóctone, normalmente de grande extensão, apresentando estruturas dobradas recumbentes e falhas horizontalizadas com grandes rejeitos sobre o muro mais jovem, decorrentes de vergência dirigida, geralmente, para o ante-país do sistema orogênico.
