dog ear
Corner fold bookmark
A dog ear is a folded corner of a page, used as a bookmark.
The crease resembles a floppy dog's ear.
To dog-ear a book is to mark pages this way: She dog-eared the recipe she wanted to try.
Dog-eared books show heavy use—or careless handling, depending on your view of the practice.
