Georeceptor is a type of mechanoreceptor which detects body orientation of the animal. An example is the statocysts in a cubozoan where there is a hard mineralized structure inside of it called a statolith. When the animal is moving about, the statolith deflects off setae in the sac-like structure and activates nerve cells which send signals to the animal in what orientation it is in.

Hope that helps :)
