👉 The term "orthoceratidae" refers to a group of animals that are known for their ability to form an orthocentre, which is a common characteristic in these animals. Orthocentrism occurs when two or more bodies of water are aligned such that the water pressure on the lower part of one body equals the pressure on the upper part of another body. This alignment is often observed in marine life and can be found in fish, crustaceans, and other aquatic organisms.
