so basically we all thought they would be pulverized into a soup-like homogenate, but the hull was mostly intact, so they probably just got toothpasted

those bits are not the hull. they are the exterior bits. the "hull" was the carbon fiber.

They recovered part of the hull, the fore titanium hemisphere. Maybe also the aft one.

I would guess bones? I’m really disappointed in the sea life for not doing a better job.

Things happen slow down that far down. When Alvin sank in the 60s the crew had seconds to GTFO. It was recovered a year later and the lunches that got left on board were still edible (someone apparently tried a bite and said it was fine except for being soaked in saltwater). And that was less than half as deep.

I can imagine there being some large enough bits of soft tissue to say "hey is that a bit of person" and they've basically spent a week in cold storage.

On July 6, 1967, the Alvin was attacked by a swordfish during dive 202. The swordfish became trapped in the Alvin's skin, and the Alvin was forced to make an emergency surface. The attack took place at 2,000 feet (610 m) below the surface. The fish was recovered at the surface and cooked for dinner.[1]
I guess the people in charge of that submersible were really hungry.

On a side note, here is a video talking about what happens when a whale carcass hits the sea floor and decomposes. They basically create an entire ecosystem in a nutrient-defiant area like the deep sea.

The timescale you're talking for implosion at that are definitely in the sub-frame range, so you would either get one frame where everything is normal and then one frame where it isn't, or at best one frame where there's a split across it where the top portion is pre-crush and the bottom portion is post-crush

In addition to the mentioned pressure differential, I feel like there might be a large difference between explosive decompression and catastrophic implosion.

Such as the direction body parts are going (out vs in)

Oh sure, they're not direct analogs. There is some similarity in that the gap those body parts had to fit through on the Dolphin was quite narrow. But primarily I used the Byford Dolphin as a touch point for the idea that even under extreme circumstances, parts of the human body are incredibly resilient and the idea that there could be recoverable human remains from the Titan isn't completely nonsensical.

At that pressure, the air they had inside the sub would explode from sheer compression. Not only were they turned into molecules, those molecules were set on fire for a brief instant.

I'm really curious as to what they think they found

Yeah most deep sea vessels are titanium or marging steel spheres/cylinders.

The only advantage of COPVs, AFAIK, is that they are very lightweight, that is literally a bad thing in any submersible design, since it's quite difficult to make a big air bubble sink, and why they're typically only used in things like rocketry, or for SCBAs.

Just the most incredible decisions with that boat. Also, who loving gives a poo poo about DNA identification, who cares if the patch of red goo is one of the passengers or another, what're you going to do, have an open casket funeral for them? Society's so loving weird about death.
