Stars produce energy by smashing mostly the lighter elements together to create more elements of different composition. When a star starts to produce heavier and heavier elements it will die because it will be losing energy. Iron is the element that kills the star so anything heavier than iron can only be produced for a few seconds until the star dies. So not much is created. That's what I've thought of it as I was searching your question but I couldn't find anything ;p been searching all night
