I did, and I stand by my original statement. The supernova remnant seems 
to generally consist of 20-25% of the total mass of the star. That seems 
like a fair definition of the 'heart' of a star.

Did some research after I posted last, and it disagrees. Lithium 
probably comes from the big bang. Beryllium and Boron probably come from 
cosmic ray interactions with the interstellar medium. Many light 
elements come from smaller stars that did not supernova, instead just 
shedding outer layers.
