Congrats to Catfish

It looks like a batch of candies being kneaded in a kneading machine
(I know it isn't)

A Sculptor ?

No. Not candies.
To mention a.. "sculptor" would imply a certain belief
Not art.

I would assign "sea-going" to some ship, but yes the thing it belongs to is something living in the sea.

No, it is organic.
To make things a bit more clear the original is "organic" (though "the proportion of mineral and organic phases is an evolutionarily adjustable continuum, and nature undoubtedly possesses examples for every step between all mineral and all organic"), the thing in the picture is an artificial copy.
To mention the original it belongs to, is of course enough.

^? "Oil shale" (Ölschiefer) alone is not limited to a certain time, nor to sweet- or seawater conditions.
If you mean the time of the lower Jura (especially lias epsilon) the species you are looking for may have lived at the time, but there is no real evidence afaik.
edit: some say it has, but there is no fossil record found up to now.
edit2: or if, only indirect hints.

Hint: the species is (still) well alive today
