If you read the title you should know why I’m stuck, if you don’t then here’s why:
I would dig my way out but I’m unable to mine any naturally-generated stone that has more than 2 natural stone blocks adjacent to it. I have tried retracing my steps but they always either lead to dead ends or I keep going in circles.
I have an iron axe and iron pickaxe, a decent amount of food, 39 cobblestone (from an infinite cobble generator I created earlier, it doesn’t count as natural stone) a bucket, a crafting table, a wooden hoe, 3 dirt, 8 iron, full iron armor, 49 iron ore, 18 bonemeal, 1 wooden plank, some arrows (I don’t have a bow though), 1 string, 10 gold ore, 7 leather, and 2 wool.
Could someone please tell me a way I could get out or if any of my items would help me find my way out? That would be very helpful...
For instance place a block at the entrance to the dead end with a torch on the side away from it.
Collect any dirt, gravel and ores you find so you don't run out. (And any stone you can mine.)
(I usually build a wall or something to block off the entrance but I have nothing to stop me from mining all the rock I want.)
I take lt the ravine isn't open to the sky?
Otherwise you could pillar up.

One plank?!? No logs?
You should always carry a stack of wood, useful stuff.
What do you do for torches? Or can you see in the dark?
If you don't have torches I'd say use pillars for markers, or even better, build a 2 high pillar and remove the bottom block.
Or how about 2 blocks in a line, another block on top of the one towards the dead end and remove the block under it, that way you have something easily recognizable as man made and it has a direction to it.
if its in a ravine, you can pillar up the wall if you have blocks, like this

and so on diagnal up the wall till you get out, make a ledge an branch out to the wall across if you need then work your way back up again till youre out, use the wall diagnal, if you have tools keep mining as you go up to get more blocks to diagnal out
your problem is probably solve by now since you post in march and it's now summer but maybe explaining how i go mining could help other people who got similar problem and find this page (also English is not my first language, sorry for mistakes or if i say something wierd)
my spawn have a mountain with lots of cave going down and before i go there, i make sure to have a stack of log and charcoal i made with all the trees around (i use my coal only for trade with villager ) so i can lit up the caves to prevent mobs to spawn (since we see in the dark, torch only help with mobs and marking the way i already explore)
when i get to a dead end, i place torch to block the way when i get back after looting all i could. when i find a tunnel that get to the surface, i made a structure that i can't mistake with natural generation so i can't miss the exit way when i want to go back home ( a dirt genital part is hard to not see in a cave no laughing please ... ) i know 3 ways to get out of my main cave
when i found new ravine or new complex of cave i try to leave a marker if i want to go later or something, my first expedition i try to explore everything i found and i get lost and end up following a wall until i found my exit but it takes lots of time, now i use sign to leave notes to different landmark i reconise ( '' big ravine '' '' exit by the lake '' '' to level 24 '' '' mineshaft this way '' ) it's very less time consuming to get out now then before.
In short, have a plan, get stack up and take notes before exploring caves.
side note : for the mining itself, i think it's really funny to find new ways to move around since we can't break certain block, like using trapdoors and water buckets ... and jumping everywhere without fall damage

Place blocks and torches to mark dead ends.
For instance place a block at the entrance to the dead end with a torch on the side away from it.

Just testing.
