Microscopic residues of bone from dissolving human remains in acids.
Conference: Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, At Seattle, WA, Volume: 66

Page 2 Excerpt - Conclusion
If time and the available amount of acid are not limiting factors it is possible to dissolve a human body in acid completely, without leaving any macroscopic detectable residues. The only body components that are resistant to acid and will at least partly survive are gallstones and artificial components, like artificial teeth, implants, etc.
