Starmutt,

It has a mass of  AREA * THICKNESS * MASS per UNIT VOLUME.  The density (mass per unit volume) of pyrex is 2.23 grams per cubic centimeter.  So if its pyrex, it has a mass of 16.354 kg  (36.054 lbs).  Plate (soda lime) has a density of 2.4 g/cm^3.  It's 7.6 percent denser than pyrex.  If its plate, it will weigh 38.802 lbs.
