1. A cutting element for an earth-boring tool, comprising:
a substrate; and
a volume of polycrystalline diamond on the substrate, the volume of polycrystalline diamond having exterior surfaces defining a front cutting surface, a peripheral edge, and a pair of angled tip surfaces defining a cutting tip between the pair of angled tip surfaces, wherein the cutting tip has dual cutting peaks, the front cutting surface includes a first planar region and a second planar region, the second planar region including the cutting tip, the second planar region oriented at an angle relative to the first planar region such that the front cutting surface is generally concave, the second planar region oriented at an acute angle relative to relative to a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the cutting element.
