Lens Mount Help

Hello, I found this lens (Vivitar wide-angle 17-28mm) at a yard sale for a $1. Couldn't pass it up. I purchased a OM adapter for PK but it does not seem to fit the lens.
Could anyone help me 1) verify the lens mount type and/or 2) tell me what I can do to use this lens on my k10d?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Edit:
here is the URL for the image, not sure why it's not displaying

as kypfer stated, it could be the shield

a review of this article might be of help

. . . The other trap is the shield that protects the aperture stop down lever. The image to the left shows what the shield should look like and does look like on a genuine Pentax lens. Some older third party lenses have a much larger shield which prevents mounting the lens on a Pentax DSLR. Current third party lenses (Sigma, Tamron, Rokinon, etc.) have correctly shaped shields (or no shields) and pose no problem.
