A question for Dr. Tim...

Has anyone ever estimated how much of the Sun (or rather, the nebula that produced the Solar System) was primordial material, how much was contributed by 1st-generation stars, how much by 2nd-generation stars, and so on? Or is there any distinction between first- and subsequent-generation material?

Not that it matters much; I'm just curious.
