I bought some pots from a local business that were stacked on top of one another and when I pulled them apart, there was a maple seed inside that had sprouted. I have tried growing bonsai trees before, but failed and am hoping this is a seedling that can become a bonsai. If anyone can help me identify this seedling, I would greatly appreciate it.

How exciting! Thank you for your response. All the research I did on maple seedling identification was getting me nowhere.

At this stage it could be many. If you are indeed from the UK, my guess would be on fieldmaple, acer campestre..

I beg to differ, I do not think it is Field Maple, I think it might be Sycamore. It does not look like Trident to me,

Both leatherback and m5eaygeoff could be right, it's not exactly like the leaves of a young trident, I must be wrong.
This is my trident today:

Plantnet says Acer rubrum L., Red maple.
It isn't sycamore. I have those sprouting in my yard every year and seedlings don't look like that.
