Larson has emphasized at this meeting that one relation which is valuable in determining the correct model for the formation of the Galactic disk is the dependence of stellar abundances on the time of formation of the disk stars. While Mayor has demonstrated that correlations exist between metal abundance and both kinematics and positions of stars in the disk, Larson has suggested that it is possible in an extreme infall model to have such trends and still have no age dependence.
