The formation of the solar system inside an OB association is examined with particular attention to the elemental abundances which would have been ejected by the association's first few supernovae. It is found that the solar system material may have been significantly contaminated by these supernovae and thus the average interstellar composition may differ from the solar system composition. In particular, we find that many of the so-called isotopic and elemental abundance anomalies (e.g., Ne, C, O, s-process/r-process, etc.) found in meteoritic inclusions and in cosmic rays may be more representative of the average interstellar abundance. In other words, it may be that the average solar system abundances are what is 'anomalous'.
