Las alineaciones de pliegues en echelon pre-albienses en la cobertera están asociadas a la Falla de Leiza y acciden tes paralelos de zócalo sinextros. La banda en la que se reconocen estas alineaciones ocupan la totalidad del Arco Vasco.
OK, so sinextros=sinistral... basamiento is basement, I believe, and so I am not sure what to do with "zócalo"...
Please help. I have reviewed previous questions but in the light of my context I am still unsure. Thank you very much in advance for your suggestions. UK Eng. Thanks.

(insular) shelf
My "Larousse Gran Diccionario español-inglés" gives "insular shelf" for zócalo in the geological sense. I think "base" and "plinth" would do for an architectural use of the word. There's also "lithosphere" - the rocky crust of the earth, above the magma layer.

Reference:
Zócalo es basamento, sin duda. Se traduce basement al Inglés. El zócalo es el piso, sobre el cual se depositan las secuencias más jóvenes de rocas. Por ejemplo, un zócalo o basamento paleozoico, indica que es el bloque sobre el cual se comenzó el depósito de las secuencias mesozoicas. Un poco difícil de explicar.
El zócalo, normalmente de edad Paleozoico o Precámbrico, puede haber sido afectado por tectónica compresiva primero, y transpresiva después, lo que genera bloques desplazados lateralmente (dextrales o sinestrales), o también fallas normales o de garvedad que generan fosas y pilares (graben y horst)
