The origin of the elements in the early Galaxy has been thought to be fairly well understood as primordial matter polluted by ejectae of type II supernovae. Some recent observational results have led to reconsider in more detail this statement. As a result, it is confirmed in some respects, but curiously, when the same metallicity can be found both in the halo and in the thick disk, the stars contaminated by SN la ejectae are more the halo stars than the thick disk stars.
