Bonsai Identification: Is this a Chinese Elm? was created by hd5084a

Hi everyone,

I just bought a bonsai but there was no identification on the tag so I am not sure what kind of species this bonsai is. After a few google searches, I think it may be a Chinese or Japanese Elm. However, I want to be sure so that I can learn more about it through more extensive research in order to take care of it properly. I'm attaching a picture so hopefully someone here can help me identify it.

I appreciate any help from you all! :)
