Along the "Eyebrow" lines......Have heard and used the word "Smile" as a feature.....along with "Ear" as the shapes somewhat resemble those.
Also....."Soapdish" but that kinda protrudes and recesses at the same time don't it?

We used the term runnel to describe a water groove in Tuolumne back in the 60's
