Got some seeds to germinate, one of them is supposedly a black sapote. Is this it?

Couple of clues: seed husk on potting mix, black stem. No true leaves, just cotyledons, but similar color. Looks good for black sapote.

No personal experience yet with Black Sapotes but those leaves are definitely that of a Diospyros sp.
