What Is This? Shower Pan Material....


I tore this out the other day.I have never seen a pan like this before.
From what I could tell the pan was just "sitting"on the subfloor.It had a metal form/edge.It was HEAVY,I would guess 300lbs. at only 34"x34".

What is the white material?

BTW this thing did it's job.

I cant quite get a fix on the picture... The pebbles at the top edge makes me think Terrazzo. They're a preformed shower receptor, usually have a sheet metal form around the perimeter, and weigh a few hundred pounds.
