dogears
Folded corner markers
Dogears are the folded corners of book pages, turned down to mark one's place.
The fold resembles a floppy dog's ear.
To dogear a page is to make such a fold: She dogeared the recipe she wanted to try.
A dogeared book shows heavy use—its pages creased and worn from repeated handling.
