We study long chains of iterated weak* derived sets, that is sets of all weak* limits of bounded nets, of subspaces with the additional property that the penultimate weak* derived set is a proper norm dense subspace of the dual. We extend the result of Ostrovskii and show, that in the dual of any non-quasi-reflexive Banach space containing an infinite-dimensional subspace with separable dual, we can find for any countable successor ordinal { \alpha} a subspace, whose weak* derived set of order { \alpha} is proper and norm dense.
