A structure or appendage bearing or carrying claw-like projections, particularly found in certain aquatic organisms like horseshoe crabs.
From Greek 'chele' (claw) and 'phore' (bearer or carrier), combining ancient roots to describe structures that bear claws or claw-like appendages.
Horseshoe crabs, which have chelophores, have blue copper-based blood instead of red iron-based blood like humans, and they've existed virtually unchanged for 450 million years!
