Just look in the game files for everything starting with PlanetBonus.

There are no unused bonuses. However there are several unused planet bonus icons, some that seem to be for existing bonuses that are using a cave picture instead, others that were probably for bonuses they intended to make but never got put in.l

The reference files have the planet bonuses in text format so you can see the elements.  This is the PlanetBonusCrystalMiners.entity (from entrenchment/trinity -not sure if rebellion has others)

You can change just about anything and with some creative writing have something nice or severe.  The 'bonuses' can be negative too.

You could make your own mod with your own bonuses/penalties, but you then need to put them in the Entity.manifest and put them into the planet entity files.

I have a theory on this...it seems that for many of the bonuses using the cavern picture, there were actually 2 (maybe even 3) icons that seemed viable....my guess is that for some of the newer bonuses, they made multiple icons and were planning to select the best one (cavern was a temp place holder), but then forgot about...

So now we have two icons for frequent meteorites, two icons for solar energy, etc...but they aren't actually used in game...
