We consider the three principal LiBeB evolutionary models, CRI in which the cosmic-ray source at all epochs of Galactic evolution is the average ISM, CRI+LECR in which metal enriched low energy cosmic rays (LECRs) are superimposed onto the CRI cosmic rays, and CRS in which the cosmic-ray source, accelerated in superbubbles, is constant, independent of the ISM metallicity. By considering the evolutionary trend of log(Be/H) vs. both [Fe/H] and [O/H], we demonstrate that the CRI model is energetically untenable. We present evolutionary trends for 11B/10B and B/Be which, combined with future precision measurements, could distinguish between the CRS and CRI+LECR models. We show that delayed LiBeB synthesis in the CRS model, due to the transport of the cosmic rays, could explain why log(Be/H) is steeper vs. [O/H] than vs. [Fe/H]. We also show that delayed deposition of Fe into star forming regions, due to its incorporation into high velocity dust, could provide an explanation for the possible rise of [O/Fe] with decreasing [Fe/H]. Observations of refractory and volatile α-elements could test this scenario. There seems to be a need for pregalactic or extragalactic 6Li sources.
