Help with identifying mount

Hello,

Could you please tell me what mount it is?
The lens is Vivitar Series 1 70-210/3.5 which goes quite cheap, however I wonder if I will be able to convert it to EOS.

I'm thinking we could start topic which will show different mounts, instead of starting new thread every single time somebody can't identify some particular mount. Idea could be quite simple - clear photo or two of the mount, name of the mount and some info about possibilities of conversion to DSLRs' standards (Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony...etc)

Rick Oleson has a lens mount identification guide over at his website. Some of the photos aren't the best, but most of them are good enough.
