Nothing but bones I would guess. Creatures of all sorts are driven to feed.
How long does a biomass last with a hoard of crabs?

Go to YouTube and search for “whale fall” several videos detail the stages by which a dead whale is completely consumed by various creatures. Apparently a whale can provide a ecosystem all its own for decades.

Reasonable assumption although the bones would crack under the pressure.
