Ralph Works Chaney, (1890 1971), was the first paleobotanist to develop in detail the use of morphological characters of fossil leaves to deduce ecological information of the given era. In 1931, Chaney was appointed professor of paleobotany and head of the Paleontology Department at the University of California, as well as curator of paleobotany at the Museum of Paleontology.
