What is on the altar is dependent upon what stage of the Catholic mass it is and certain preferences by the presider/parish customs, as well as what right the Catholic church is.
Normally for a Roman Catholic mass, in the entrance procession an Evangeliary, which is the book of Gospels, is placed on the altar. Later it is removed by the priest or deacon in transition to the ambo to read the gospel from it. During the presentation of the gifts, the altar servers begin to set the altar for consecration. The corporal is placed first which is the cloth to catch any fragments of Eucharist that might fall. The Sacrementary, a book which contains the prayers of consecration, aniphons and other prayers needed while the priest is behind the altar, is placed. It may be placed upon a stand if the priest prefers. Then the ciborium and patens containing unconsecrated hosts are placed on the altar. After this, empty chalices which will later be filled with wine are brought up with purifiers to whip where the congregates' lips touch it. During communion, all vessels are moved to distribute the Eucharist and the Blood to the congregation. Following communion, all vessels are returned, unconsumed hosts are placed in the Tabernacle and the priest purifies his chalice and ciborium by pouring water into both and consuming it. Everything is then removed from the altar by the altar servers and it is then bare, other then a decorating cloth perhaps.

The "altar stone" is the true altar. The rest of the "altar" is not strictly speaking an altar, but the support for the altar.
