After a pretty long winter, folks around Marquette were taking advantage of the warm weather (low 60s). Snow can still be seen along the shoreline, but it is melting fast. The break wall and the Presque Isle Harbor Breakwater Lighthouse is featured in the backgound.

Yea the Jacobsville Sandstone got laid down 1.09 billion to 972 million years ago (per Macrostrat), in the form of fluvial deposits that filled the huge basin that had earlier been created by the infamously dreadful Midcontinent Rift, during which North America unsuccessfully tried to split itself in two.
Ah but these 1880s Catholics on the Upper Peninsula weren't thinking about any of that. Their minds were on the tickets to paradise they hoped to be awarded upon their respective deaths!
