I don't have any evidence, but I dont think so at all. There is just too much heavy elements in our solar system to be made up of just the accumulation of dust out there. I think our material is mostly from a specific event



As far as I know, our stellar neighborhood is not anomalously rich in heavy elements compared to your standard issue cubic parsec of space. The Sun is a perfectly ordinary Population III star with the expected metallicity.
