The observed transneptunian binaries, with components of comparable mass and large separations, cannot be the result of collisions in the present dynamical environment of the Kuiper belt. They could be produced by collision of two planetesimals within the sphere of influence of a third body during low-velocity accretion in the solar nebula. Thus, they are primordial.
