"Paleontologists from the University of Calgary have discovered a massive, 70 million-year-old skull of a horned dinosaur: a pachyrhinosaur, to be exact. It is described as a 'rare find': the last discovery of this type in the same region dates back to more than 50 years ago when only a partial skull was collected.
Found in the Alberta Badlands in Canada, its two meter long head had large bony bumps, short curved horns and a large frill at its neck. In her statement, researcher Darla Zelenitsky said, "the skull of this animal has an enormous bony structure over the snout that would have made for a very strange looking individual.
The University of Calgary statement with more details and related links can be found here."

Higgs boson had been extensively sought since the early 1990s. It was only recently identified and studied as a thing. however, the confirmation wasn't only a single, simple satisfaction: it generated hundreds of publications and dozens of PhDs. Even if the search ended up disproving the Standard Model, it would have also generated just as many publications
I think any field of scientific discovery is replete with lots of negative data, but it is the positive confirmations that generate the press and are overrepresented in the literature from publication bias.
