It almost looks like a blob of melted metal, possibly from volcanic or asteroid. It is probably the result of one of these and it is much larger than the piece shown here, the top layer of surrounding rock has weathered away from it so it appears to be standing when you are just seeing the tip of it.

It certainly doesn't look like anything a human would make. It's just a blob from what I see. No machined shape.

Well there you go then. That is proof that this is made by aliens who use technology that more resembles amorphous blobs.
