The two in the centre could maybe be taken for fusulinids, but the rest can't (most are curved and have no visible internal details)

Could you give us any info about its age? Fusulinids only have a short range in the Palaeozoic.

They're most probably phylloid algae (or a similar calcifying encruster - there are many), and one looks like it might well be a small encrusting bryozoan. A stereomicroscope (and ideally thin sections) is the only way to tell.
