Golf ball markers come in various shapes and sizes. Under the rules of golf you can technically use anything to mark your golf ball on the green, you can use a tee, a pitch mark repairer or any coin. However good etiquette would be to use a small coin about 2-3 cm's in diameter and one that lies relatively flat to the ground as to not have any effect on your playing partners.
A ball marker can be as big or as small as you want. Although common sense prevails obviously. The average size is a circular object the size of a British 10p or American quarter.
The marker is placed by the player when the object ball is the 8 ball under APA Rules. There is no location prior to the player placing the marker, as it is typically in their pocket.
yes in paint ball they call it marker but it really is just a paint ball gun
They mark their ball out of courtesy for other players as if one player on the green hits the ball of another they receive a two shot penalty. It is also so the player can clean his ball and line it up.
a marker that is flat so a ball can roll over it
In the game of 8 Ball, a marker is required under APA Rules to indicate the pocket where the 8 ball is intended to be pocketed. The marker can be any item placed by the player on the rail except a piece of chalk, because these are found on the rail.

Yes, each time the shot is made to pot, or pocket, the 8 ball, the pocket must be identified. Under some Rules, this requires a marker to be placed. Under these Rules, the marker must be placed or replaced prior to the shot - a marker left in place from a previous shot and not touched is not a valid marker.
