Inzigkofen is a municipality in the district of Sigmaringen in Baden-Württemberg in Germany. Historically, it is part of the Swabian north Alpine foreland basin.[2]
It consists of three districts:
| Coat of Arms | District (Teilort) | Population[3] | Area[3] |
|---|---|---|---|
 | Inzigkofen with Nickhof und Pault | 1372 | 931 hectares (2,300 acres) |
 | Engelswies | 611 | 749 hectares (1,850 acres) |
 | Vilsingen with Dietfurt | 845 | 1,196 hectares (2,960 acres) |
Within Engelswies is the now-abandoned Talsberg quarry, known for its fossiliferous layers, and the site of evidence of the oldest Eurasian hominoids; a molar tooth found there in June 1973 was reported in June 2011 to have been "dated with relative precision at 17 to 17.1 Ma" (million years ago).[2]
