CORNELL AFFILIATION:
B.S.: Cornell University (1924); Ph.D.: Cornell University (1929)[Advisor: Loren Petry]



Chester Arthur Arnold was an American paleobotanist who earned B.S. and Ph.D. degrees at Cornell University, where he studied with Loren Petry and specialized in Pennsylvanian and Devonian plant fossils. Beginning in 1928, Arnold was an instructor of botany at the University of Michigan, and he remained there for the rest of his career, becoming a full professor of botany and geology as well as working with the University's Museum of Paleontology. After his retirement, he continued his research, and was named both professor emeritus and curator emeritus of the University's Museum. His 1947 textbook, An Introduction to Paleobotany, was for some time the standard text for students in the discipline. Archaeosperma arnoldii was named for him by fellow University of Michigan botanists John Pettitt and Charles Beck.
