Is there a word for the moist imprint of a finger on a page in a book?

Asked by nebule (16452points) January 23rd, 2010

Sometimes, if your finger is at a certain level of moistness and you leave your finger inadvertently on a page for a certain length of time, (say your hands are gently spread out across the pages of a book, which is resting on a table) when you let go, the natural dewy effect of the finger leaves a little indent in the page, as if it had slightly stretched the fibres and this imprint is left for quite sometime…

When I was perusing some such little imprint yesterday I was pondering whether this lovely little creature full of charisma had a name?

Anyone know?
