Calcic amphiboles were synthesized from a natural mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) in 39 experiments representing 24 sets of pressure-temperature (P-T) conditions ranging from 650-950 °C, 0.8-2.2 GPa, at ƒ O₂  controlled by the fayalite-magnetite-quartz (FMQ) buffer, and P aqueous fluid =  P total . Experiments lasted up to 1630 h at low temperatures; in all cases, synthesized hornblendes were coarse-grained (5-7 × 10-15 μm) and chemically homogeneous. Over the investigated pressure range, Ca-amphibole coexisting with phases rich in Al and Ti gradually changes composition from sodic-calcic, Si-rich at low temperatures to calcic, Si-poor at high temperatures: it is barroisite at 650 °C, edenite at 700 °C, and pargasite at 800-950 °C. Electron microprobe data were combined with 41 comparable analyses from the literature for Ca-amphiboles synthesized from MORBs at intermediate ƒ O₂  in order to erect a petrogenetic grid for the experimental range 0.0-2.2 GPa, 450-1050 °C. Isopleths for Al 2 O 3  in Ca-amphibole exhibit markedly negative P-T slopes, indicating increasing Al 2 O 3  contents with both P and T. In contrast, TiO 2  isopleths are nearly independent of P, demonstrating that TiO 2  in Ca-amphibole increases almost exclusively as a function of T. For natural metabasaltic assemblages that contain coexisting Al-rich and Tirich phases, and closely approached chemical equilibrium under crustal or uppermost mantle conditions, this semiquantitative petrogenetic grid allows the simultaneous assignment of attendant P and T employing Ca-amphibole Al 2 O 3  and TiO 2  contents. However, during slow cooling, natural Ca-amphiboles may exsolve TiO 2  as rutile, titanite, and/or ilmenite, but in general do not redistribute Al 2 O 3 , so this thermobarometer must be applied with caution to inhomogeneous specimens.
