The past history and origin of the different, Galactic stellar populations are manifested in their different; chemical abundance patterns. We obtained new elemental abundances for 553 F and G dwarf stars, to more accurately quantify these patterns for the thin and thick disks. However, the exact definition of disk membership is not, straightforward. Stars that have a high likelihood of belonging to the thin disk show different abundance patterns front those for the thick disk. In contrast, we show that stars for the Hercules Stream do not show unique abundance patterns, but rather follow those of the, thin and thick disks. This strongly suggests that the Hercules Stream is a feature induced by internal dynamics within the Galaxy rather than the remnant of an accreted satellite.
