SUMMARY:Primordial Planetesimals of the Solar System - Andrew Shannon (Pen

DESCRIPTION:The Solar system offers a unique opportunity to examine the re
 mnants from an intermediate stage of planet formation\, the planetesimal s
 tage\, if those remnants can be identified\, and distinguished from recent
 ly produced fragments.  Modelling the collisional and dynamical evolution 
 of the Solar system is critical to finding these remnant planetesimals.  E
 mploying such models\, I discuss where such planetesimals can be found tod
 ay\, and focus on what can be learned from two example populations.  I sho
 w how the composition of the Oort cloud can be used as a probe of planet m
 igration\, and how the properties of the Cold Classical Kuiper belt can be
  used to constrain how planetesimals (and hence planets) grew.
