dog ears
Folded page markers
Dog ears are the folded corners of book pages, creased to mark one's place.
The fold resembles a floppy canine ear.
To dog-ear a page is to make such a fold: She dog-eared her favorite passages.
Some readers consider dog-earing a minor desecration; others see it as a sign of a well-loved book.
As an adjective, dog-eared describes pages or books showing this wear.
