London (CNN) Naturalist and veteran broadcaster David Attenborough has given Prince George a souvenir to treasure: a fossilized giant shark's tooth that he discovered in Malta more than 50 years ago. Prince William and Attenborough attended the outdoor viewing in the palace's grounds on Thursday, before the 94-year-old spoke to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's three children and presented his gift to George. Prince William and Prince Louis examine the tooth of a giant shark given to them by Naturalist Sir David Attenborough in the gardens of Kensington Palace in London. The tooth, which belonged to a member of the extinct shark species Carcharocles megalodon, was discovered by the world-renowned naturalist in some limestone on the island of Malta during a family trip there in the late 1960s. The megalodon, whose name means "giant tooth" in Ancient Greek, is thought to have had an average length of more than 10 meters, according to Encyclopedia Britannica.
