In the past, the nostril has been placed near the rear of this cavity, in part because the large, sauropod dinosaurs were at first thought to live in water.

In almost all cases, the nostril was close to the front edge of the cavity.

In fact, the rostral nostril appears to be the norm for reptiles, birds, and mammals, making it one of the few rules of anatomical construction among animals, says study author Lawrence M. Witmer of Ohio University.
Early paleontologists thought that the big sauropods were amphibious, and may have used an upward-facing nostril placed dorsally, or at the back of the bony opening, as a snorkel as they submerged themselves in deep water.
Witmer found independent confirmation of the dinosaur rostral nostril in the pattern of grooves and pits within the bony nostril, signatures of an intricate network of blood vessels in the nasal region.

 New Scientist Breaking News - Fish fossil confirms origin of nostrils
By contrast, land vertebrates - technically known as tetrapods, because of their four limbs - have nasal passages that open to the outside world through a pair of external nostrils, and to the throat through a pair of internal nostrils or choanae.
Many biologists suspect the choanae evolved from one pair of fish nostrils that migrated over millions of years to a new position inside the throat.
To do that, however, the nostrils would have had to cross through the line of teeth at some point, a move that sceptics regarded as unlikely.
