If that was a premixed bag, it looks like it wasn't mixed enough. You should not be able to see all the stones.
Should have drilled and put bar in to tie them togetherRegardless of the "appearance", if this is the slab you cut in your non permitted kitchen work, how did you re-establish the slab reinforcement?
You have a bad habit of asking your questions after the fact.
My suggestion is you rip all that concrete out and start again. There is no fixing it at this point and if you do not do it correct your work will be more down the road.
As you backtrack taking this out with each shovel full think to yourself if I only would have asked first.
Once you get it all out come back and ask for advice.
Take a shovel and try and dig into it. Hit it good too. You should not be able to do any more than put a scratch mark into it.What's wrong with it, though?
Seems to be doing it's job as a floor.

It's hard as a rock. I'm just confused why the color is so different.
It looks to me like the hole is not totally filled. I would just mix up some more concrete and pour it on top. Just make this batch a lot more watery and work it down into the voids.
I'll use thinset for that when I lay the tile.

In the photo in the thread, also authored by the OP, "How to properly tape this room off to spray paint the ceiling?", it appears that there is no slab reinforcement, and the dwelling was built in 54.
Interesting for Florida, the land of disappearing dwellings.
