lineament
Distinguishing face feature
A lineament is a distinctive feature or characteristic, especially of the face: the firm lineaments of his jaw, her mother's lineaments visible in her expression.
The word is literary and somewhat old-fashioned.
In geology, a lineament is a linear feature on the earth's surface—a fault line, ridge, or valley visible from above.
