Any idea what coral this could be or where I could look it up? 
The corallites seem to be plocoid to pseudo-ceroid and the columella is trabecular to solid. It was found on land at the Cape Verde Archipelago, but unfortunately I can't give any information about the stratigraphy...

This one looks quite similar to the first one, because of its septa, but the corallites are fused... It's from the same spot and unfortunately I can't identify this one either

Mmmmmm, the first specimen seems to be cut. That straight fracture .......

Perhaps Tarbellastraea or Heliastraea can be a good guess to begin with it but without stratigraphy information is very dificult whit this material.

Yeah, the first sample has been cut. 

Do you know how I could identify them ? Or where I could get some information on how to identify ?
