undecomposed
Still wholly preserved
Undecomposed means not broken down or decayed.
The term applies most often to organic matter that remains intact: undecomposed leaves in the compost pile, remarkably undecomposed remains.
In chemistry, it describes compounds that haven't separated into simpler substances.
