in a discordant and erosive way/manner,


Explanation:
Is missing "contact" somehow... I would suggest:
Esta secuencia descansa de manera discordante y erosiva, de bajo angulo sobre el Miembro Quellkay........
This sequence has a low angle, erosive discordant contact with the underlying Quellkay Member...

Hope that helps.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Chris Ellison: I agree that we are talking about an unconformity, but the grammar of the sentence makes it difficult to use this noun, you can't "overlay" in an unconformity. This makes the sentence rather unwieldy - can you think of a way to get around this problem? :)

  -> You are right. Thanks, many thanks for your observation. I made a couple of sentences that I hope are right in terms of grammar. Please check them in the note added to my answer
