Both titanium support rings were recovered intact. These are what bonded the carbon fiber hull to the titanium ends. There isn't any evidence of carbon fiber still attached in the photos/ videos of the debris.

Edit: more photos

From your link it seems that even the front titanium hemisphere is still relatively intact.
