español term

acuñarse

español al inglés Otros Geología oilfield research in Venezuela
"Hacia el este del área Carabobo, el espesor del Miembro Morichal se va reduciendo hasta desaparecer al acuñarse contra el alto de Uverito, lo mismo sucede hacia el sur donde dichas unidades sedimentarias se acuñan contra el Basamento ígneo metamórfico."

I'm thinking along the lines of "runs into", unless someone can suggest a better translation?

Thanks.

Wedges (itself in)

"...desaparecer
al acuñarse contra el alto de Uverito...."

Creo se lee con buen flujo si se dijera:

...disappear as it wedges itself against...
