Does anyone have any Trident Maple seeds or live near a Trident Maple?

Got almost any Maple within a couple blocks of me, you have a leaf pic? I have to admit, unless it is Japanese Maple I am not too savvy with acer cultivars. BUT, Seattle has almost all Maples and the breeding season for some reason seems to lend to them all being purebreds, or mostly. So, if I have a good leaf pic I will actually watch as they all seed (and that is one thing I do know, when to grab the seed )

They should call it a Duckfoot Maple.

That would be a very interesting name for it.

We have lots of maples around here, too, but I've never seen one with that leaf configuration. I'll keep my eyes open for one.
