The modern anatomical features that characterized the family Hominidae visible in Lluc's fossil among others are : unique facial pattern for hominoids, nasal aperture wide at the base, high cheek bone, and deep palate.

Therefore, when observing the nose in profile, the normal show of the columella ( the height of the visible nasal aperture ) is 2 mm; and the dorsum should be rectilinear ( straight ).
13.
In the skull, there is a well-defined lowered area in the middle of the rostrum ( front part ), which nearly touches the back margin of the large, V-shaped nasal aperture ( opening for the nose ).
14.
People with considerable European ancestry generally have relatively no prognathism; a relatively small face; a narrow, tear-shaped nasal cavity; a " silled " nasal aperture; tower-shaped nasal bones; a triangular-shaped palate; and an angular and sloping eye orbit shape.
15.
The Mongoloid racial type is distinguished by forward-projecting malar ( cheek ) bones, comparatively flat faces, large circular orbits, " moderate nasal aperture with a slightly pointed lower margin ", larger, more gracile braincase, broader skull, broader face and flatter roof of the nose.
16.
Studies indicate that they are useful in increasing nasal cavity volume in the front three centimeters of the human nose, and for that purpose could be an alternative to decongestive nose sprays, but nasal strips are not particularly helpful for congestion in the posterior nasal apertures.
17.
The "'posterior nasal apertures "'or "'internal nostrils "'are found at the posterior ( back part ) of the nasal passage between the nasal cavity and the throat in tetrapods with secondary palates, including humans and other mammals ( as well as crocodilians and most skinks ).
18.
It is distinguished from all other " Aldabrachelys " by a massive, flattened or depressed carapace, bulging sides of the carapace, short gulars, top of the nasal aperture is higher than the top of orbits, diverging quadrates, broad postorbitals, and a very large processus vomerinus dorsalis.
19.
All unambiguous synapomorphies are based on the nasal region of the skull where the individual bones are easily distinguished . " Orthogenysuchus " shares with " Mourasuchus " a characteristically long, broad snout, extremely wide external nares consisting of the nasal aperture and dorsal fossa, and many small maxillary alveoli.
20.
Its last reported occurrence is from the middle Pliocene of Romania ( 2 to 4 million nasal aperture, a higher and narrower cranium, and a shorter mandibular symphysis than the other two species . " D . bozasi " appears at the beginning of the late Miocene, and continues there after the other two species have died out elsewhere.
