ceiling problem

Hi. I recently removed some track lighting from the ceiling of my condo, and when it came away, it took a lot of ceiling material with it. I'm attaching some photos of the situation. What I'm trying to figure out is:

--What's the base material--concrete?
--What was covering it up--some kind of plaster? And how can I replace it?
--And is there a way to remove those bolts that seem to be set into the concrete?

Sorry if these are rookie questions--I AM pretty much a rookie! And thanks in advance.

Thanks, stadry. In fact I'm thinking I might move this discussion to the Plaster & Drywall forum for tips about brands of plaster and whether I should use a concrete primer first. (My guess right now is that it's a popcorn ceiling that was plastered over at some point.)
