Could be gypsum or maybe tectum. However, neither one would require metal deck as a form board normally. Old School s observation as fesco board imho is correct, cause this product was made w/ wood chips and disintegrates when wet.

Sounds like it might be gypcrete which is a misture of gypsum and concrete...it's sometimes poured over just a wire mesh with felt on it around here.

be careful walking on it, check the deck for rusted spots before walking on it.
