A dog-eared page.

Dog ears is an informal name for folding the corner of pages to mark where you are in a book, as opposed to using an actual bookmark. While generally frowned upon by those that want to preserve books in their original condition, it is particularly common in use on paperbacks which are designed to be cheaper and more harshly used than hardcovers.
