Some mislabelled piece of stone? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slab

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'piece of stone?' is the definition.
'slab' can be an answer for 'piece' (I have seen 'Piece of paving' mean 'slab' so perhaps 'piece' could also mean 'slab'). I am not sure about the 'of stone?' bit.

'some mislabelled' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'SLAB' is hidden within 'mislabelled'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for slab that I've seen before include "Broad, thick piece of wood, stone" , "24 tinnies [STRINE] < in a wooden hut [STRINE]" , "Paving stone" , "Hunk" , "Piece, e.g. of cake" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
