As an expert in forensic science and biology, I can explain the stages of decomposition. The final stage of decomposition in vertebrate animals is known as the Dry/Remains stage. This stage is characterized by the desiccation of the remaining tissues and the reduction of the body to dry skin, hair, bones, and cartilage. At this point, most of the soft tissues have been broken down by decomposers such as bacteria, fungi, and insects, leaving behind the more resistant structures.

Five general stages are used to describe the process of decomposition in vertebrate animals: Fresh, Bloat, Active and Advanced Decay, and Dry/Remains. The general stages of decomposition are coupled with two stages of chemical decomposition: autolysis and putrefaction.
