Cretaceous Office Supplies is an unlicensed transdimensional corporation which provides office supplies and associated support services to the Cretaceous period (the longest geological period of the entire Phanerozoic).

Evolution of Cretaceous marine office supplies

Office supply needs were simpler during the Cretaceous period.

Oceans were dominated by enormous reams of Legal standard paper.

The more familiar "Letter" standard of our day evolved later, in response to evolutionary pressure towards leaner, "just-in-time" organisms.

Etymology

The name Cretaceous is derived from the Latin creta, 'chalk', which is appears abundantly in the fossil records of classrooms and lecture halls during latter half of the period.

History

Cretaceous Office Supplies was first detected and reported by author and APTO stringer Karl Jones in a Twitter post on the morning of 6 November 2020.
