There's a 3D model on the article that you can check out.

It’s a mineral concretion that was formed by water, so “stalagmite” would be close.

My fist thought too. It is definitely not a bunny rabbit.

The lines look like ripples left on a shoreline. Remnant fossil of some ancient drying briney sea?

That would be my guess, too. Though possibly something wind-worn over the ages.
Guess we’re lucky it wasn’t run over!

Very interesting. I dont understand the ‘bottom’ of the crystal formation. Is it hollow underneath?

Looks like some fluid (which is interesting, in all honesty) caused a chemical change in some porous rock, which then eroded away.

Fossilized coral on Mars killed off by climate change. Reeeee!

Looks more like a piece of coral to me. When lighting strikes sand it leaves a similar construct. I don't think there is lighting on Mars.
