>>in the fusion cycle of stars like our sun, any material extruded wouldn't have any significant quantities of elements heavier than iron, as fusion past the iron stage takes more energy than it produces. As I understand it the heavier elements come the the accretion of dust from Supernovas.<< Well I believe the sun is generating all the elements and the interior is solid, very dense and absolute zero. Composed of something that breaks down into the stable elements. Uranium is in the final stages of breaking down. If the heavy elements came from super novas why would they be in veins of pure elements located in cracks in the organic crust and base of the crust. The large beds of elements in ores and mixtures could come from novas and stars for that matter but not pure veins. More on the planetary extrusions… If the star dragged off the surface of the sun (mostly gas) and within the the drawn material came lower heavier materials. Then the first to leave and pop off as globes would be large gas blobs forming the gas giants and then each planet inward would have a denser and denser average makeup. The heavier material would be later and a little slower to accelerate. Pass a couple of other stars through to wreak havoc and voila you have the solar system.
