Gemara: Rabbah bar Bar Chanah further said:
Sailing on a ship, we saw a large fish; a small creeping creature entered its nostrils,[and killed it.] The ocean disgorged the dead fish and dumped it on the shore, destroying sixty cities. Sixty cities ate from its flesh, and sixty cities salted the flesh that remained. From one of its eyeballs, three hundred barrels of oil were filled. When we came back after twelve months we saw people sawing its bones into beams to rebuild the de­stroyed cities.
